Set for auction in Tipperary later this month is a residential farm that offers a seldom seen combination in the region: a well-located residential farm with a manageable landholding.

Listed with Matthew Ryan auctioneers, the 36ac holding in Rossmore, Dundrum, Co Tipperary includes a four-bedroom roadside bungalow that has been extended over the years.

While requiring modernisation, it is likely to qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant (VPRG) and would make a comfortable family home once upgraded.

The yard includes three outbuildings, which may be eligible for TAMS.

To the rear of the dwelling is a compact yard with independent road access. Facilities here include three old outbuildings, a two-column haybarn with lean-to, and an old milking parlour. Traditional in nature, the infrastructure provides a good foundation and may be eligible for the Targeted Agricultural Modernisation Scheme (TAMS) to bring it up to modern standards.

Rising in a long incline behind the yard, the land is elevated and described as slightly heavy, but good grazing ground that would lend itself to drystock beef or followers.

Situated 20 minutes from the Tipperary towns of Thurles and Cashel, the holding has good transport links and practical commuting options for a new entrant or young farmer looking to build an enterprise. Guided at €600,000, the land may also attract local farmers seeking an outside lot for young stock.

The auction will take place on 26 August at 3pm in Coffey’s Bar, Rossmore, Co Tipperary.

Described as slightly heavy, the land is elevated and suited to cattle grazing.
